These are the steps our office uses to calculate institutional grants:

minus "remaining need.” Since MLC is unable to completely cover all calculated need, a remaining need must be covered by you with funds from work, savings, loans, or other sources

The difference in this calculation is your institutional grant amount, awarded as an MLC Grant or a combination of MLC Grant, Named Grant, or Federal Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grant. The maximum need based MLC Grant that a student may be awarded after consideration of Pell and state grant is:

$7000 for students with no dependents;

$8500 for students with dependent children

Other grants and scholarships:

Distance Grants may be available and are based on your calculated need and one-way distance of approximately more than 750 miles from New Ulm. If funding is available, the grants are awarded to students who have need as determined by FAFSA; they are credited directly to your account, and may not be withdrawn unless you have a credit balance.

“Outside source” grants from congregations, WELS districts, high schools, companies and foundations do not result in a reduction of other grants unless required by federal regulations, which occurs infrequently. Outside source grants will be credited to your account when documentation is provided from the donor that you will receive the grant or when funds are received.

*The total cost of attendance includes allowances for additional expenses such as books and supplies (estimated at $800 for two semesters), travel, and miscellaneous personal expenses. The allowance for these additional expenses will vary for each student. Additional expenses are estimated at $5,100 and are added to $18,920 for tuition, room and board = $24,020.
